problem in signing a sis with Developers certificate using command line

[symbians60]

Hi ,
I am having a developers certificate i.e both the .cer and .key files with me .I have used these files for signing an application for my E61 handset but i used Carbide.C++. Now i am creating a sis file of another application using command line using the same .cer and .key files but it is not able to create the sis file and giving me an error .

The commands i am using for creating the sis file is

createsis create -cer <.cer> -key <.key> -pass <passphrase> app.pkg
and before doing this i am just copy pasting my .cer and .key files in the sis folder of my application.
But it is giving me an error that it cannot load the .key file . now is there anything more to be done or am i doing anything wrong .It would be nice if anybody explains me the whole procedure of creating and sigining a sis file using the developers certificate .

I am waiting for the reply

Have a look into following Wiki page:

And for reference you can look into:

Thanks kiran for replying but i am getting this error

createsis create -pass exam -cer Example.cer -key Example.key Example.pkg
Processing Example.pkg
Created Example-tmp.SIS
Signing Example-tmp.SIS with Example.cer and Example.key->Example.SIS
error:06078081:digital envelope routines:EVP_PKEY_get1_DSA:expecting a dsa keyerror::0D0680A8:asn1 encoding routines:ASN1_CHECK_TLEN:wrong tag encryption error ,cannot load Example.key

Now why am i getting this error , have you got any idea about this

Createsis is hardcoded to only work with DSA keys (for reasons that are totally unfathomable to me...)

Instead use makesis and signsis seperately:

makesis foo.pkg foo-unsigned.sis
signsis -s foo-unsigned.sis foo-signed.sis devcert.cer devcert.key

btw, I edited the batch file in the example above to remove the assumption of an RSA key pair. Signsis is perfectly capable of choosing a signature algorithm automatically.
